Alright, deep breaths guys... I'm really not quite sure where to begin with this.  First, I'd like to thank Colleen once again for sharing her talent with us; her very faithful readers.  Secondly, I think it's most impressive that there has not been one single book of hers that I didn't like. I mean, not one, not even close and I think that is quite something. I'd say I'm quite a tough cookie to break and certainly have quite high standards when it comes to literature in general. Long story short; I'm quite hard to please. Colleen however has found a way to waltz right through that tough exterior and hits the target every time.   If I'm totally honest with you, I have the strangest feeling Colleen is actually a Witch. Like, a fully fledged magical being with the most wonderful imagination. So if you're reading this right now and you're thinking, ''heck, what is this chick on about... magic isn't real...''  I urg

Published as ebook by S&S Books for young readers  So this book showed up on my radar fairly unexpectedly. I've got to be honest and say that I hadn't been aware of its publication at all and I certainly didn't know what to expect when I read that 'Black Ice' was labeled as a 'dark and mysterious thriller.'  The reviews I'd read prior to starting the ebook were rather mixed in opinion, but as a big fan of the the Hush Hush series I knew I would just have to give it a chance.  It started off entertaining enough and despite my initial concerns, I kept on reading. I'm not too sure how I feel about labelling Black Ice as a thriller however,  because if I had to be brutally honest, I don't believe it really qualifies as one, even as a young-adult thriller.  Were there parts that somewhat shocked me? Yes, certainly.  Was I scared or at all worried for the characters at any point? Sadly...no.  Which is why I think t

Published August 14th 2014 by Dutton We rate it: 4.5 stars out of 5 It comes to no surprise that Stephanie once again managed to knock our fluffy socks off. I mean, we all expected it, didn't we?! I most certainly did.  I know Steph has had a bunch of worries about writing Isla, seeing as it is the last and final book in the series and, naturally, those are always the toughest ones to complete, but I knew from the start that she'd have nothing to worry about. I was 100% sure she'd ace it, and, well, here we are.  I think out of the 3, Isla was the book with the most ups and downs and overall had the most emotionally consuming plot. Josh & Isla's story really tugged at my heartstrings and I found it most difficult to detach myself from the heartbreak.  Isla and the happily ever after is one of those stories that act as some sort of mad teleportation device. Before you know it, you're tumbling right back into your own teenager years where
